Import Tips
• Provide the vehicle's engine displacement (2.5L) and hybrid system details to the CBSA to support classification under 8703.60.90
• Confirm the vehicle is admissible under Canada's Imported Vehicle Regulations, including compliance with emissions standards
• Remember that imports without a quota allocation under the tariff-rate quota pay the far higher over-access rate
